Cape Cod Potato Chips

      When I was at Cape Cod  I went to The Cape Cod Potato Chip factory.  There we had a tour of the factory. It was interesting. I saw little because there is a big square window and we could only see one side. But even though we saw so little it was so interesting.  The factory smelled like oil.

      Did you know the factory has gone from making 200 bags a day to 350,000 bags a day?  Did you also know that it takes 4 pounds of POTATOES to make 1 pound of  potatoes CHIPS?  At the gift shop they were giving out free potato chips,there was original and reduced fat.  We bought 5 flavors: original, sea salt & cracked pepper,sour cream & green onion,sweet mesquite barbecue,and last we had waffle cut chips sea salt.  

     At my grandma and papa's house we tasted the flavors.  We all gave the flavors points 1-10.  Sweet mesquite barbecue  came in last with 36 and a half points, it tasted like a barbecue chips.  Sea salt & cracked pepper came in 4th with 38 points, very spicy after taste.  My favorite was sour cream & green onions and that came in 3rd with 39 points.  It was great.  Original came in 2nd with 51 points.  I thought it was so so. And in first... drum roll please... waffle cut chips sea salt with a 53 points!!

Lefteris

Today I went to a restaurant called Lefteris in a new big shopping center in Yonkers.  They serve the food from the place that makes my favorite myths... Greek.  There we got some yummy food, and it's right by the new Legoland Discovery Center!  We sat out side.  The table cloth was blue and white like the Greek flag.  We got grilled octopus.  It tasted like the raw tuna that I get at the Japanese restaurant.  I didn't like it.  I like squid better but my sister really liked it.  We also got saganaki cheese on fire (literally :0 ).  It tasted rubbery, it was so-so.   The third thing food is Spinach pie or in Greek spanikopita, it was good.  On to the meat:  biftek, it tasted like a veggie burger paddy.  It was beef.  Gyro is made of lamb+beef.  It looked like brown strips of meat.  The last of the meat  is souvlaki, which was lamb.  It is tough like steak.  I love it. I have to sink my teeth in the piece of lamb and try to use my teeth to break a smaller piece.  There was this lasagna thing called vegetarian moussaka, like a potato zucchini lasagna.  It was fine it was very potato-y.  The last food  was some pita.  It was chewy hot and good.  We used the pita to scoop up the food, like the way you use the pancake when eating Ethiopian food.
